Summary: "Billiards" by Major W. Broadfoot is a comprehensive treatise on the sport of billiards written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of "The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes" and serves as both a historical account and an instructional manual for players of varying experience levels. The text likely features analysis of playing techniques, the evolution of the game, notable players, and detailed recommendations for improving one's skills. The opening of "Billiards" introduces the reader to the purpose of the volume, emphasizing a lack of modern guidance for players looking to enhance their skills in this popular pastime. The author outlines the necessity for a manual that blends theoretical principles with practical instruction, aiming to aid both novices and seasoned players. Broadfoot highlights the importance of understanding basic concepts, such as the motion of the balls and mastering essential strokes, to play effectively. The text mixes historical anecdotes with training advice, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the game that seeks to bridge the gap between amateur and expert players.
